I'm happy to chip in and help the awesome folks at
the Software Freedom
Conservancy with funding for their work, standing up for
copyleft. It's clear that there are a lot of people who will ignore
the terms of Free Software licensing, whether by oversight or
deliberately, so the SFC are doing an important job working to defend
the Freedoms that lots of us are using every day as developers and
users.

It seems that some of SFC's corporate supporters have stopped
sponsorship since the beginning of
their lawsuit
in Germany against VMware for GPL violations. Maybe some folks are
happy to support SFC, but not when they really push things like
this. Let's hope that we can find many more individual supporters to
cover SFC's funding needs instead. This week, there's
an anonymous
pledge to match donations from new supporters so right now is an
even better time to sign up!

Thanks
to Paul
Wise for posting about this and indirectly prodding me to sign up
too.
